I went to Kisahalli on tuesday with my littlebrother Samu. Mikko was there too... for 40 minutes

Well, `cause there weren`t anyone to play with (Ok, Samu was there but It`s boring to play circle with one guy. Specially when he hits like pixie>mirage>pixie>clipper>drop) so I skooled my flipside:

Swirl
Rev. swirl
Symp pixie
Symp Mirage
Smudge
Pixie op Pick-up
Pixie ss Pick-up
And footed pdx DLO

When we were starting to go home, I came up with a trick that I haven`t seen anyone doing: Muted swirling ss X-Body rake. First it looks like a Ripstein but it ends to a X-body rake. COOL .

I`ll try to get that on video.

I`ve had two sessions since the last time I wrote:

Last thursday I hit double Pick-up (from clipper)!

Last friday I hit FLIPSIDE JANIWALKER

I`m going to Kisahalli today too. I`ll try to hit flipside Torque.

Yesterday I played at kisahalli. I didn`t hit anything new but I hit a few really long strings.

Yesterday evening: I played at kisahalli with my littlebrother: Samu, Santeri and Lauri. Samu hit DATW! And he footed DATW out-in! I didn`t warm-up at all and I ended up practising my flipside: I hit 9 PLOs and 31 Infinities (not sure what my record is).

I`ll play today too. After that I`m going to take a little break...

The day started normally: I woke up, ate, took a shower, changed my clothes and went to school. I came home and decided to go and shred at Kisahalli... That decision changed my life.

I hit flipside Infinite swirl, flipside Ripped warrior and footed E-Walk.

Just come early, please, because I'm going to an Independence Day's dances at evening so I have to start getting myself ready at about 17 o'clock.
I'm so waiting for it!!! - The shredding I mean

[riku]

Yeah, were coming there . My little brother will come too.

I can`t play `till friday `cause I`ve got some exams...


EDIT: And Tuomas will probably come too. Not sure.

I can`t play `till friday `cause I`ve got some exams...

I hit E-Walk!! And footed flip ripwalk>flip blurry whirl and
flip ripwalk>janiwalker.

Muted pixie zulu clipper> Zulu butterfly

And footed the last trick of this string:

I forgot to mention:

[riku]

I played yesterday for two and a half hours at Kisahalli with Samu, Tuomas and ICEMAN.

I hit pixie spinning osis and footed inspinning clipper (first time I tried).
That ain`t so hard trick as I thought.

We`ll shoot tomorrow, If Miika doesn`t call and say: "Sorry, but I don`t wanna play with you anymore `cause I hate you".


I hope he doesn`t.
